Gluten Free In Malmo, Sweden

Hi Friends!

As I have mentioned many times before, I like to plan ahead a little bit when it comes to where we will be eating when we are on a vacation and this is mostly just because I am so scared with my allergy of not having something to eat or causing problems with whatever group I am in or the horrible “I got glutened and my day is over” feeling. If you are traveling to Malmo, Sweden soon, don’t worry at all there were plenty of options! There are only a few places on these lists because we were traveling between Copenhagen, Helsingor and Malmo on this portion of the trip so the meals were split up between all three spots but I will share where we did eat with you guys below!


Where to Eat Gluten Free around Malmo, Sweden

MAX - We stopped here pretty much as soon as we checked into our hotel and I would say it is like their McDonalds. But here they had gluten free options and that was SO exciting! I had a bacon cheeseburger and a side of fries but I got the cheese fries that had onion and jalapeños on top. All of it was really good and we were thankful to have a quick meal to eat and we would definitely eat here again.

Sabaidee Thai Trianglen - This was another place that we ordered dinner to the hotel when we were in Malmo and it was SO freakin good! Before this trip I have had curry but this Thai place had a red curry that in the most dramatic way possible, changed my life haha! It was so good and I wish I could find a place here in Florida that properly replicated the curry that we had. We also had pad Thai in our order which was really good but it had chilis on top of it that I didn’t see and I put about four of them in my mouth at one time and I’m not sure I have been the same since, lol it was SO spicy! I’m sure if I would have ordered it without the chilis it would have been just as good! We defiantly recommend to order from this spot, just be careful with the spice levels of things if that isn’t something you enjoy!


Nybergs - We stopped in here to get coffee actually a couple of times! We liked stopping in here to grab a coffee after getting off the train before going back to the hotel because it was on the walk from the train station to the hotel. We also got breakfast here once as well and it was pretty good! I got scrambled eggs and bacon. They also had surprisingly quite a few gluten free pastries to choose from as well. I had an almond type cookie and also like a moon pie thing as well and both were good! They also had wifi which was nice to have when we needed it. Even if you don’t stop for coffee, it is a great place to stop and to check on missed messages!


Davidshall Pizzeria - We ordered this pizza one night after a long day of exploring and it didn’t disappoint! It was really yummy, the crust was shockingly good. You gluten free friends know that crust isn’t the thing we get excited about when it comes to pretty much anything haha but it was really good! I got the Margherita Pizza and it was so good, would absolutely get it again if I was given the chance! My parents got a non gluten free Hawaiian type of pizza and they liked it as well! We can’t remember what Dustin had but he said it whatever it was he liked it! It was nice to have many options to order in after long exploring days, we ordered in dinner all of the nights that we were in Malmo, actually!


We did get to spend quite a bit of time in Malmo but eating out was split between a few different spots like Copenhagen and Helsingor! Like most other places on this trip, I was so happy to have found many options for gluten-free eating that were actually really tasty. Have you eaten at any of these spots or visited Sweden? Let me know if you eat at any of these spots! If you have any questions you can comment below or as always you can send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Much Love,

Spend Two Days in Copenhagen, Denmark

Hi Friends!

Once we got off of our cruise we had 3 days in Copenhagen and Sweden and we spent one and a half of the three days in Copenhagen exploring! We had a lot of things on our list that we wanted to check out but as the day went on we sort of just let the day take us where it went and it was a lot of fun. A few things that were on our list was a canal tour, Tivoli Gardens, Amalieaborg castle and then just wandering around the iconic buildings that we have all seen in pictures! Trust me, those pictures of the colorful buildings lining the canal were spot on and it was such a pretty place to sightsee! Below I will share where we stayed, where we ate and what things we did in Copenhagen!

A Few Things to Have on Hand!

  1. Rain Jacket

  2. Umbrella

  3. Backpack for purchases

  4. Camera or Phone for pictures

  5. LAYERS! I was so thankful that I had a rain jacket, a sweatshirt and a t-shirt on because I shed and added layers all day long!


Where to Stay!

Raddison Blu Hotel, Malmo

When we got off of our cruise ship we stayed at the same hotel for the whole three days that we were there and it made the most sense for us to stay in Malmo, Sweden because it was a lot cheaper than staying in Copenhagen. It was really nice because we were a quick train ride from anywhere we wanted to go and we didn’t feel like we were missing out on anything by staying in Malmo! We stayed at Raddison Blu Hotel, Malmo and it was such a nice spot to stay and the location couldn’t have been better! It was nice and clean, the staff was super friendly, they had air conditioning in our rooms, comfortable beds, tea and coffee in the room and the rooms were huge!

Where to Stop!

Tivoli Gardens - This place was like the most chaotic amusement park I had ever seen haha it was really cool to walk around and look through the shops and see the different things that they had to offer but we were there on a Sunday and it seemed like everyone else was also there. I believe we each paid about $25 just to walk around the park and then if you wanted to go on rides they were a little bit more than that. It was definitely a cool thing to see in the middle of the city but I’m not sure I would pay to go in again if I were to go back!

Amalienborg Palace - We originally wanted to see the changing of the guard at the palace but we ended up doing our canal tour at the same time so we skipped it but if you can you should watch this iconic event! We could see the castle from where the canal tour started so it was perfect to see it at the same time! They also had the option to go inside and do a museum tour but we didn’t do that while we were there.


Lime Scooters - We took these Lime Scooters on a little tour around by ourselves and it was so much fun! We took the train a little bit further out from the center of the city to look for the Trash Trolls that we had heard about. When we got off the train, we saw the Lime Scooters so we downloaded the app and took them on a ride! Unfortunately we couldn’t for the lives of us find the Trash Trolls we were looking for but the scooters were so much fun it didn’t matter in the end! We probably would have had better luck with the Trash Trolls if we planned a little bit more ahead, so if you go, find them before you are without internet! If you feel comfortable on a scooter, I really recommend doing this for a little self guided tour around the city!


Original Canal Tour of Copenhagen - When we were visiting, we knew we wanted to do an iconic canal tour and we decided to go with the Original Canal Tour of Copenhagen. We liked the open boat seating and the tour guide was great! We paid like $15 a person and it was totally worth it. While we were on the boat we got to see The Copenhagen Opera House, Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace, the Black Diamond Library which was SO cool, The Little Mermaid statue and so many side alley canals with tons of house boats and tons to look at! The tour took maybe about 45 minutes if I am remembering correctly and different boats were picking people up about every half hour. I can’t recommend doing this tour enough!

Thrifting Along the Canal - We were so happy to stumble on this thrift market that was set up along the canal, there were so many things to look at and we actually have two small pieces of art in our house now from the market! A note, we could only pay with cash but there was an ATM at the 7 Eleven that was about a three minute walk away from the thrift market! I don’t know the days it is open but if they’re there when you are visiting, definitely stop!

Where to Eat

Espresso House - We stopped in here for a cup of coffee after wandering through the Tivoli Gardens and it was pretty tasty! Not much to say, it was a cute coffee shop and there were bathrooms to use which was nice! Espresso House was like a Starbucks in the states, they were everywhere and we actually stopped into a different location on another day! Like I said, good coffee and a good place to stop in and relax for a bit.

Wagamama - We ate here when we were in Tivoli Gardens for lunch and it wasn’t our first option but we were all starving and I knew I could eat here so we just settled and had lunch! They were very knowledgeable about allergies and the manager was the person who came to take my order. I got the Pad Thai with chicken and it was pretty good! Not a 10/10 but if it had a little bit more sauce it would have been much better! Dustin got some kind of ramen and liked it a lot! I would eat here again, especially because of how well they took care of allergies.

With only spending about a day and a half in Copenhagen, as you can tell we were able to fit so many things in and see so much! If we had a little bit more time we probably would have ventured out and did some things outside of the city. But that just means we need to visit again for a longer amount of time! Have you been to Copenhagen? What was your favorite part when you were there? As always, if you have any questions at all, please comment below or send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you asap!

Gluten Free In Scotland

Hi Friends!

As I have mentioned before, I am a big planner when it comes to where we will be eating when we are on vacation and this is mostly just because I am so scared with my allergy of not having something to eat or causing problems with whatever group I am in or the horrible “I got glutened and my day is over” feeling. If you are traveling to Scotland soon, don’t worry at all! The few towns that we stopped in I had no problems finding something to eat, they were really great with gluten allergies. We stopped in Kirkwall, Dornoch and the Dunrobin Castle in the Northern Highlands and I found food in each place! There are only a few places on these lists because Scotland was only stops on our cruise, we didn’t spend a ton of time in each of these places but I will share those with you guys below!


Where to Eat Gluten Free around Scotland

Dornoch, Scotland

Milk + Honey - We stopped into this place for lunch on the way back to the cruise ship from visiting a castle and we were pleased with the food that we got! It was a little cafe and I got the yummiest tuna sandwich with cucumber and a side salad! We also got lattes and pie for dessert and it was SO SO GOOD! All of my food was gluten-free and they were very knowledgable of my allergy which was great!

Golspie, Scotland

The Tea Room - This was the little cafe that was at the entrance of the Dunrobin Castle but it was really yummy! They had a ton of things that were marked gluten-free. I ordered a cup of soup to go and it was so good! But one thing to note, you can’t take food on the tour so I should have had the soup while I was sitting there- just keep that in mind! But it was really good and definitely recommend it! My parents and Dustin had pastries that weren’t gluten free but they liked them and the lattes that we all got were also good!

Kirkwall, Scotland

Archive Coffee Shop - We stopped in here to get coffee and use their wifi for a few minutes to check on where my parents were and I am so glad we stopped because it was the cutest little coffee shop. We both got lattes and they were good! They also had a food menu but we weren’t eating. A great place to stop for a pick me up and to check on missed messages if you didn’t have service there like us! Haha

Harbour Fry Fish & Chips - I was SO happy to stumble upon this restaurant. It was on the main strip of shops and as you can see below, it literally said “ask about our gluten free options” and WOW was it yummy! The inside was small but like a fast paced diner almost. We ended up sharing a table with a couple and their Australian shepherd (some of you probably know we have two Aussies at home!!) and had the best time. It was great conversation with locals and was honestly the highlight of our day. The fish was crispy and delicious and 10/10 recommend eating here if you are visiting! Plus the staff was SO friendly! I can’t say enough good things about this spot!

Like I said, we were only in these spots when we got off the cruise ship on a couple of different days but for the time that we were there we found some good spots! There were some good traditional Scottish dishes as well as just some favorites that we found! Plus I was so happy to have found a plethora of gluten-free options that were actually delicious. Have you eaten at any of these spots? Let me know if you eat at any of these spots!

Stratton Mountain, Vermont: Where to Eat, Stay and Play

Hi guys!

We spent a long weekend on Stratton Mountain in Vermont a few weeks ago and it was the perfect fall getaway, especially if you are looking to find a relaxing spot with stunning views! We were there for a wedding and it was the prettiest location! If you have been around for awhile you probably remember us living in Boston for a couple of years.

Discover the best places to eat, stay, and play in Stratton Mountain, Vermont with our comprehensive travel guide. Plan your perfect getaway now and experience the beauty of the mountain.

When we lived there the timing never lined up for us to go on a fall leaf turning adventure so we were very excited to check that off of our travel bucket list! It was also the perfect time to go, the weather was a little chilly at night and just had the perfect fall vibes! Below I am going to walk through the two hotels we stayed at, the best gluten free spots to eat, and what to do during your weekend escape to Stratton Mountain!

Where to Stay: Long Trail House

We stayed at the property called Long Trail House and we really liked it! It had a full kitchen, a fireplace and a living room with comfortable couches! As you can see it is more of a rustic vibe but that would be perfect for all of the activities that the mountain had to offer. It was right across the street from all of the restaurants and shopping that was on the mountain and we really liked our stay here. It was also nice because we were on the first floor and we could hang out on our balcony. The only thing we wish that was different about the room was that the bedroom needed a ceiling fan! But other than that we definitely recommend staying here.

Where to Eat on Stratton Mountain, Vermont:

Benedicts - We ate here for breakfast one morning and it tasted really good, they were knowledgable about my gluten allergy and we liked the atmosphere. We sat at the bar because they were really busy and the bartender kept apologizing for the delay because they were training a new cook. We both ordered The Basic Breakfast which was 2 eggs, bacon, toast and breakfast potatoes and it took about 45 minutes for our food to come out. I do think it was a fluke or something though because everyone around us who ordered about the same time as we did got their food way before us. So it might have been a delay for my allergy which does happen at a lot of places! I would definitely give this spot a try if you are visiting!! I linked the menu here so you can check it out before you go!

Upper Standard Coffee - We grabbed coffee here three of the mornings that we were on the mountain and I think we were learning as we went because the coffee got better each morning. The first morning was VERY sweet, so if that’s not your thing then I would ask for fewer pumps of syrup! I got an iced latte with white chocolate and peppermint syrup and Dustin got the same thing but hot! Definitely check it out, just keep in mind the sweetness levels if you aren’t into coffee that is super sweet! Here is the menu for you to check out!

Bar 802 - We actually spent a lot of time here at this restaurant just hanging out! It was a little bit more low-key and we loved sitting outside by the fire listening to live music. We did eat here a couple of times but the gluten free options were limited so it was more like snacky foods that we got but the BRUSSEL SPROUTS were SO GOOD. That sounds dramatic but we got an order of them three different times in the three days that we were there haha another thing that we got was the chips and guac one night and that was also good! I did like that the GF options were labeled on the menu though, that made things easy to navigate in terms of eating. Here is the menu for you to check it out before you go visit.

Fire Tower Restaurant and Tavern - We went to dinner here one night and it was pretty good! The gluten free options were a bit limited and I wasn’t able to eat their fries because they were in a shared fryer so that was a bummer. But we actually both got the American Wagyu Burger that had cheddar cheese, arugula, a roasted garlic aioli and shallots on top, it was really good! Dustin got a side of fries and liked them a lot and I was underwhelmed with my side salad but it wasn’t bad! Another night that we were here we ordered a pizza to take back to our room from Fire Tower and it was pretty good, it was called The Bianco. The pizza was able to be made with a gluten free crust and had garlic oil, mozzarella, ricotta, goat cheese, parmesan, hot honey and toasted pistachios on it. We liked it but if I were to order pizza from here again I would get The Nepoli! Here is a link to the menu to check out before you go!

Green Door Pub - This bar is under the restaurant called Mulligans and it was a bar that was opened a lot later than the other spots around Stratton Mountain. We only went there for about an hour one night but it was fun! They have pool and spots to sit and hang out. If you are wanting somewhere to go after dinner for a couple more drinks this is the place to do it! I will link the page again here so you know where to go and how to get to it because it isn’t an obvious spot!

Grocery Stores

Shaw’s - We went to this grocery store that was about 30 minutes away from Stratton Mountain beuacase we wanted to get somethings for the hotel room that didn’t cost an arm and a leg from the grocery store that is in the village on Stratton Mountain. Shaw’s was nice and we were glad to find this spot because we ended up spending the afternoon in Manchester, VT and I will share more about that below! But the grocery store had everything we needed with gluten free options and reasonably priced for being the only grocery store nearby us!

The Market in Main Base Lodge - This was the little market/grocery store that was actually on the mountain and surprisingly they had many options for us to choose from. We went here after we found out our second hotel had a full kitchen to get some things for breakfasts and a frozen pizza to have after a night of drinking. Like I said, they did have a lot of options but as we expected it was pretty pricey for basic items. I would use this store as a “I forgot milk” type of thing if you have the option to stop at a grocery store before you get to the mountain! Also, they had weird hours and were usually closed after 2pm but we were there in October so it very well could be open longer when they are in their busy season!


What to Do in Manchester, Vermont:

I think I should preface this list by saying this trip was very casual and leisurely for us and we didn’t do a ton of planning before getting there because we wanted to have a low-key go-with-the-flow getaway trip. Keeping that in mind, there will be things missing from this list that are major activities that didn’t get to see, all the more reason to go back!


Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park - On the Friday that we were there we didn’t really have anything on the agenda! We had driven about 30 minutes to go to a grocery store to get some things for the hotel room and we ended up having a little picnic lunch and walked around this park for a few hours and it was so nice! I’m sure we loved it even more because of the leaves that were changing but it was just so nice out and it was easy to walk the trails and wander around! They also had a dog park here so we people/dog watched for awhile as well!

Northshire Bookstore - This was also in Manchester and we went in to just check it out and WOW, this book store was absolutely huge and had SO many books! They had a huge gift section, huge kids section and upstairs they also had second hand books that were priced really well and in great condition! I actually can’t believe I walked out of that store empty handed but I can’t recommend going in here enough!

Things to do in Stratton Mountain, Vermont:

There are also SO SO SO many activities that were on the mountain and we didn’t really do any of them! But I will link the page that has all of the “Things To Do in Stratton Mountain” right here! Like I mentioned, we went for a wedding so we did things for that and then we were also not there during the busy season so we kept our activities pretty low key so maybe next time we will do some of these things!

Shopping

We didn’t do any shopping really while we were there but there were many stores so I wanted to list those for you guys just so you know what to look forward to when you are there visiting! Lots of winter gear and gifts!


Ever since we lived in Boston we had always wanted to go a little fall leaves getaway to somewhere in New England and it just never lined up season wise when we lived there. I am so happy that we got to spend the weekend there, it was low key, go with the flow and seriously stunning. I kept saying the whole trip that the pictures I was taking weren’t doing the colors of New England justice AT ALL! I would absolutely add Vermont in the fall to your bucket list of travel destinations! If you have any questions at all or have something to add to the list of must dos while visiting the Vermont area, I would love to add it to the list so please comment below or send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you asap!

Packing for a 14 Day Trip to Iceland, Scotland, Denmark and Sweden

Hi Friends!

To start out this post I just want to say that this is a very specific packing list for the trip that we took! We did three days in Iceland, then we did an eight day cruise and once the cruise was done, we spent three days exploring Copenhagen and Sweden. This packing list isn’t going to be for everybody, but if you are taking a trip similar to what we did, this will be very helpful for you! I’m going to start off by sharing my general packing list and then when I was packing for myself, I broke it down specifically to each day because I had limited space in what I could bring so I wanted to make sure that everything would fit. I will also share the broken down version of the things that I packed for myself each day based on the activities that we were doing. Lastly, I am also going to share a few things that I didn’t pack that I wish I would have brought! This might be extensive so I hope this helps even just one person!


These things that are in the graphic below are the clothing specifics that I packed for the colder weather in Iceland. Also I should add that not only was it cold, but it was very wet which is very normal! I also used these things here and there in different locations but these were to keep me warm and dry during our Iceland portion.

| Black Joggers | 2 Pack Base Layer Long Sleeves | Black Leggings | Grey Jumper |

| Black Waterproof Gloves | Waterproof Duck Boots | Wool Socks | Rain Jacket |

| Waterproof Hiking Rain Pants |


General Packing List

Days and Destinations

Day One - Plane/Iceland

I kept it comfortable and casual on the travel days because let’s be honest, those are exhausting and the last thing I want to be wearing is something restricting like jeans! I got this jumpsuit from Amazon and I ended up wearing it a lot while on the trip.







Day Nine - Inverness, Scotland

Day Outfit

Dinner Outfit

    • For dinner this night I ended up just staying in what I wore earlier in the day out in Inverness. We got back to the boat later than usual and decided to play cards and have a low-key dinner in the casual dining area.





Emergency Kit Supplies

This kit is for more than just sea sickness so if you're setting sail on the open seas or embarking on a river cruise, it's important to be prepared for any emergency that may arise. After being on a handful of different cruise lines I have come to a few conclusions, one being the medicines that they do sell are pricey in the gift shops. This is probably obvious but I am not a doctor and anything you plan to take should be run by a professional prior to taking it! These are the things that I came up with that are my/our must-have essentials for a cruise emergency first aid kit. Hopefully you can be fully prepared for any situation that may arise during your own vacations!

| Emergen-C | DayQuil | NyQuil | Allergy Medicine | Tampons/Pads | Midol | Bandaids |

| Antibiotic Ointment | Hand Sanitizer | Ibuprofen | Tylenol | Liquid IV | Sunscreen | Aloe |

| Tide To Go Pen | Dramamine | Safety Pins | Tweezers | Tums |



Again, I know that was a lot of information and this post isn’t going to be for everybody, but when we were prepping for this trip, it was almost impossible to find a packing list for exactly what we were doing, and I wanted to make sure that anybody doing a trip like this in the future would have a little bit more help than we did! Keep in mind we were there in June and it was still chilly in most of the locations that we visited! If you have any questions at all, I am more than happy to answer those for you!

Boho Style King of Christmas Tree Decorating: Tips & Inspiration

Hi guys!

I am so excited to be sharing this but this blog post is a special collaboration with King of Christmas! In this post I will be sharing all things boho Christmas decor the 8 foot King Flock Slim Christmas Tree from King of Christmas! It’s no secret that I am a huge Christmas fan so when I got the chance to decorate early I was all over it! Having all of the Christmas decorations up in the house makes me SO excited for the holidays and hopefully this post gives you some good ideas and/or inspiration for your own homes for this holiday season. I love that this tree is the center of our Christmas home decor and it complements the vibe that we have going and fits in our home perfectly. So let’s dive into the world of warm white twinkling lights, earth-toned ornaments, and cozy vibes that will make this time of year extra special!



King of Christmas Tree Details

Like I mentioned, the tree is from King of Christmas, I have always seen people decorating these stunning trees and I am never shocked when I find out the tree is from King of Christmas. This specific tree is an 8 foot flocked tree and has 700 warm white Christmas lights pre-strung to make your life so much easier!

This tree has over 2,700 reviews sitting at 4.8 stars and I have read so many good things about the tree. Right now you can save $200 dollars off of this tree, which is such a savings near the holidays! This tree style comes in 6 other options that are various heights, anywhere from 6.5 feet to 12 feet tall! Three other things to mention is that it came very fast, the website states that delivery will be in 1-3 business days and I can confirm that was how it was for our delivery. The other two things is that they have a 30 return window, so if you get it home and put it up and it isn’t what you want you have 30 days to return it and lastly, there is a two year limited warranty which is no nice, especially with a prelit Christmas tree!


Now for the fun part, ORNAMENTS! I love ornaments and honestly probably have way too many. I was so excited though when I got the idea to switch things up a little bit this year and go for more of the oranges, browns and whites for our tree! As for our tree skirt, I just decided to use a neutral color and go with a cream color! You can click the image below to shop all of the ornaments, I was able to get all of the links to the items that I used so it is easy for you guys to find. Sometimes it is hit or miss with ornaments but I got lucky! Let me know what you think of this color theme or if you have used it in the past, I think these are perfect to compliment the flocked aspect of this tree!

| Pinecones | Orange Slices | Cinnamon Sticks |

I has such a fun time switching up some of the decor in our home for this season with the oranges and more boho style and the most important part, the stunning flocked King of Christmas tree! It is the perfect addition to our home this year and I can’t wait to see what your trees look like as you all start to decorate! What colors are you decorating with this year?

Gluten Free In Reykjavik Iceland

Hi Friends!

Usually I am a big planner in terms of food on vacation and this is mostly just because I am so scared with my allergy of not having something to eat or causing problems with whatever group I am in. It sucks when you’re hungry and wandering around trying to find food that won’t make me sick. All that said, I didn’t plan ANYTHING in terms of food for this trip. It just totally slipped my mind. While we were there we didn’t eat out much very much. We stopped at grocery stores and then mostly cooked food at our Airbnbs! There were a few places we did eat out though and I wanted to share those with you guys below!


Where to Eat Gluten Free in Reykjavik, Iceland


Krua Thai Restaurant - We were visiting Rainbow Road and the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church right around lunch time and we were so happy to stumble into the yummiest food we had in Iceland! They had a lot of gluten free options and the waiter was very knowledgeable of my gluten allergy. I honestly think that our waiter was the owner as well but nonetheless, knowledgeable! I decided to get the Pad Thai and I added chicken, it was SO good! We were also able to get whatever spice level that we wanted. Dustin got the chicken Kuayda Pad with rice and it was like a red curry. It was also able to be made gluten free! The portions were huge and I ended up taking about half of mine to go for later, side note, it reheated well!

Coffee shop in Penninn - We went in to browse the bookstore and grabbed a coffee while we were in there. The bookstore was so cute and had so many options book wise. I know it was the middle of June when we were there but Dustin and I both got a pumpkin spiced latte and it really just hit the spot! It was so good, not too sweet, so good!

Rost Reykjavik - This was a coffee shop that was closer to the cruise port but we stopped here for breakfast before we got onto our ship! To eat I got the hot ham and cheese on gluten free bread, it was good! Dustin got one of their specials that was specific to that day but it was out of his comfort zone and he still loved it. To drink I got the one of their special lattes that was being advertised on the chalk board but it had like caramel popcorn on top and was so good! It was definitely more of a sweet treat rather than a regular coffee situation! Dustin just had a latte and liked that as well!

Like I said, we were only there for a few days and we did eat in our Airbnbs for the most part but we did eat and get coffee at a few good spots! Have you eaten at any of these spots? I can’t recommend the Krua, the Thai restaurant enough and it is right next to rainbow road. Definitely worth the spot! Let me know if you eat at any of these spots!

Spend A Day In Kirkwall, Scotland

Hi Friends!

Kirkwall was our first port stop in Scotland and I loved this day so much! As I was writing this blog post I realized that pretty much everything we did when we were in Kirkwall was something that we stumbled upon while walking around. There was a mixup with getting off the ship so we had literally like two hours to kill while waiting for my parents to get off and by the time we met up with them we wandered some more! We had the best day though, we wandered into coffee shops, thrift stores, castles, libraries, museums, restaurants, gift shops, churches and so much more and it was just the best most relaxing day considering nothing in the morning went to plan. But we had about 6 hours to spend wandering the city and it feels like we walked and explored SO much in that small amount of time!


A Few Things to Have on Hand!

  1. Rain Jacket

  2. Umbrella

  3. Backpack for purchases

  4. Camera or Phone for pictures

  5. LAYERS! I was so thankful that I had a rain jacket, a sweatshirt and a t-shirt on because I shed and added layers all day long!

Where to Stop!

Welcome center - Usually I wouldn’t suggest a welcome center as a place that you probably want to check out when you are visiting somewhere new but the welcome center in Kirkwall was so helpful. The staff were so knowledgeable and happy to help us with questions about maps, locations of attractions, spots to eat, shopping, bus schedules, wifi locations and so much more. Another perk of the welcome center was that it was also a very cute gift shop with actually cute items to purchase! We stopped there at the beginning of the day and also on the way out just to look at last minute souvenirs!

Archive Coffee Shop - We stopped in here to get coffee and use their wifi for a few minutes to check on where my parents were and I am so glad we stopped because it was the cutest little coffee shop. We both got lattes and they were good! They also had a food menu but we weren’t eating. A great place to stop for a pick me up and to check on missed messages if you didn’t have service there like us! Haha

Kirkwall Library and Archive - Another place that I wouldn’t usually add to a list of places to visit when you are in a new city is a library but it was such a cool place to check out. It was raining right when we got into Kirkwall and we decided to go in the library just to see what it was like. But it was so fun! There was free wifi, bathrooms and they actually had books for sale. I needed up getting a few to use as decor and coffee table books for home. I would definitely suggest going into the library, even for just a few minutes!

Bishop’s and Earl’s Palace - Another place we stumbled upon was this old-timey castle palace thing which was SO cool to see inside of. It was like a medieval looking building and it was right next to the St Magnus Cathedral. It was dated all the way back to 1263 and it was just so interesting to see and imagine how life was lived inside the building. We spent maybe like 25 minutes here but if you are taking a guided tour I could see you spending more time and getting a ton more information. I would absolutely recommend checking out this spot!


The Orkney Museum - We didn’t plan to stop in here but we walked by it while we were exploring and the door said free so we figured we had nothing to loose! The museum was fairly small but it had information on the history of Orkney all the way back to the Stone Age. There were things to look at from the Vikings all the way until present day. I’m glad we stumbled upon it and went in. They also had restrooms that were available to use and another cute gift shop at the end of exploring.

St Magnus Cathedral - We went in here once we met up with my parents and it was so pretty inside. It was raining pretty hard at this point so we were happy to be inside but it was so neat to just learn a little more about this cathedral. Some of the dates that we were reading were just so interesting, some dated back to the 11th century. Also the stained glass was just incredible! It didn’t take us too long to walk through but it was absolutely worth the stop for us.


Harbour Fry Fish & Chips - I was SO happy to stumble upon this restaurant. It was on the main strip of shops and as you can see below, it literally said “ask about our gluten free options” and WOW was it yummy! The inside was small but like a fast paced diner almost. We ended up sharing a table with a couple and their Australian shepherd (some of you probably know we have two Aussies at home!!) and had the best time. It was great conversation with locals and was honestly the highlight of our day. The fish was crispy and delicious and 10/10 recommend eating here if you are visiting! Plus the staff was SO friendly! I can’t say enough good things about this spot!

There were also lots of other shops along the main walkway including the cutest book shop that had so much to choose from. There was also a fun record store that we spent way too much time in! The record store also had things like legos, games, puzzles, it reminded me sort of like a game stop with fewer video games. There were also so many thrift stores that we wandered into. We went to like three or four different ones and I got a couple of cute paintings that now live in my house. I liked being able to get things for the house that weren’t from a gift shop but there is like a history to those items! Other than that there were lots of stores that had souvenirs and gifts that we loved. OH and there was an art fair that was cute to walk through. My best advice would be to just go into places even if you think it might be something you wouldn’t usually stop at.


With only spending about half of a day here, as you can tell we were able to fit so many things in and had a great day! If we had a little bit more time we probably would have ventured out and did some things outside of the city. But that just means we need to visit again for a longer amount of time! I could absolutely see us visiting Scotland again in the near future! Have you been to Scotland? What was your favorite part when you were there? As always, if you have any questions at all, please comment below or send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you asap!

Much Love, 

Emma
